Adding oil on the dipstick or in the tube should not affect any engine performance. However, the sheer small size will likely require oil spillage, which will cause smoking and odors once the engine heats up. Also, allow about 30 minutes to elapse before reading the dipstick to guarantee level accuracy. For best results, use the appointed filler piece to add oil.

Not usually. The dipstick is used to check the oil level. Oil is added where the oil filler cap is - usually located on the valve cover and will screw counterclockwause for removal. That is unless you are talking about transmission fluid in which case the dipstick hole is the same place where you add fluid.
